I've been accepted starting May '15 and also live in Dayton. Anyone else who lives nearby interested in commuting together?

My grades were older than 18 years and I got in.

Hi Justine, I just left another friend request; maybe I screwed up the first one. Just in case, my name is Doug Klein and feel free to send me a request. My email is [email protected]. I can send you my phone number that way, too. Doug

Hi Justine, I sent you a frend request and a message with my phone number. Feel free to call and I'd be happy to answer all of your questions. Doug

Have you heard back from anyone in the program? I'm scheduled to graduate in December and would be happy to answer questions.

I was thinking about you last week, wondering whether you had heard. Let me know.

Being accepted into the traditional program is required before you can even apply to the accelerated program. I received a letter from the University informing me of my acceptance. I would imagine the same process remains.

Not too familiar with either area, but if you're getting your own place, I'd recommend that you stay within a 20-25 minute commute of the campus and be as central to the river as possible. There are early classes and late clinicals, equally north and south. Being central does make things earlier. Send Sally an email about the class. As I said, my cohort did not have to take it.

Most are from the Cincinnati metro area and commute from home. There are a few of us who live too far away and have made alternative living arrangements. If you get accepted and matriculate and if you're interested, ask Shane, Sally or Becky whether they're aware of anyone else in the cohort that wants an apartment mate. A couple of people in are group got together that way and it does help to control expenses. I took an apartment about 5 miles from school just outside downtown. It's working thus far. Check with Sally or Shane as to whether you still need the Informatics class. My cohort did not need to have it. As far as nutrition is concerned, I took mine online through Western Oklahoma State. It was fast, easy and very inexpensive and NKU accepted the transfer. If I remember, you can take it at your own speed and get it done quickly. I started and finished the class in less than three days!! Don't worry about just needing one or two classes; most who apply are in the same situation. Best of luck!!

Hey, I'm not sure I'm the best one to answer this question. My "degree" GPA was less-than- spectacular, about a 2.72. However, it was from a good school and a long time ago. My GPA for my pre-reques was a 4.0 and I took more than what NKU required because I was looking at other schools, too. If you did well on your last 30 semester hours (north of a 3.3), then you should be OK. The program is good. The workload is high and there's plenty of stress to go around. Nursing school is supposed to be tough and this program is no exception. Best of luck. If you get in and decide to enroll, I'm Doug. Come say hi...

Sorry, didn't read the last paragraph. It's the road I chose to take and I feel generally very good about the experience so far. The program seems a bit chaotic and there would be changes I'd make if someone were to be so foolish as to put me in charge. However, I'm having a blast and really find the experience very enriching. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I think you'll be fine. The school takes a hard look at your last 30 hours and how you did on the prereques. Comparing the two of us, you'd be better...

Yes, I think you should apply. My prereques were perfect but my grades from my previous degree were not as good as yours. I got in and am currently enrolled.

Hi, It seems we made most of the same choices in preparing for the summer and the upcoming school year. I've kind of kicked back, completed some long-overdue projects around the house, and stayed closely connected to family and friends. Yes, I've signed up for classes for the fall and am very excited to start the program. I think there is a way to send a private message through this system with contact info, but I'm not sure how. Alternatively, you can send me a message through Facebook. I'm Doug K on NKU's nursing Facebook page. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey, Good to hear from you. Classes will start before we know and things will undoubtedly be crazy right away. I can't wait. Are you from the area?
